For the past decade, the owners maintained this apartment as a rental property while residing in a spacious four-bedroom house with a garden. With their daughter moving out, they decided to downsize to the apartment, drawn by its convenient location and low-maintenance living. The apartment despite its narrow layout features a striking triangular kitchen island and frosted glass for natural light. It’s divided into an open-plan living area and private quarters, including a bedroom, rumpus room and study nook.

Intentional is the first word that came to mind when I spotted this new project in Dawes Point, NSW by Duet. It is fairly minimal and each piece is so sculptural and unique, and overall this home has such a sophisticated vibe. This also may be one of the most beautiful kitchens I have ever seen….which is crazy coming from me since I haaaaate white kitchens. It’s the perfect mix of rustic farmhouse and modern.

Back in 2017 Jo featured a home with knotty pine walls that has gotten lots of traffic ever since, and when I spotted the cottage of Barrie, ON based designer Ashley Montgomery I had to share another wonderful example of knotty pine done right. What was once her family’s horse stable (with stalls) outside of Toronto, then became storage, then was transformed into a cool “bunkie” or sorts that sleeps ten. The pine is original from when it was built in the 1950s, and was in such great condition it was simple cleaned and lacquered. She added in some flagstone on top of the concrete floors and with a colour scheme of black and white, it turned into a functional and modernized rustic space. Knotty pine at its finest.
